Common Questions

Before You Decide

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is the most significant tax legislation since the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Signed into law in 2025, it restores 100% bonus depreciation, makes the QBI deduction permanent, raises the SALT deduction cap, expands R&D expensing, and creates new provisions for small and mid-size businesses. Most of these changes took effect January 1, 2026.

If your business purchases or finances equipment, vehicles, furniture, technology, or other tangible assets, yes. The OBBBA restored 100% first-year bonus depreciation, meaning you can deduct the full cost of qualifying assets in the year they're placed in service. This applies to both new and used property. Real estate investors with cost segregation studies also benefit significantly.

Yes. The Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction, which allows eligible pass-through businesses to deduct up to 20% of qualified business income, was set to expire after 2025. The OBBBA made it permanent. If you're a sole proprietor, LLC, S-Corp, or partnership, this is a major long-term planning opportunity.

The OBBBA raised the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000 for those filing jointly. If you itemize deductions and live in a high-tax state (NY, NJ, CA, CT, IL), this could save you thousands. For business owners, combining the SALT increase with a pass-through entity tax (PTET) election can multiply the benefit.

The OBBBA restored immediate R&D expensing (Section 174), which means you no longer have to amortize research costs over 5 years. For 2022-2025 when amortization was required, you may be able to file amended returns to recapture the benefit. If your business develops products, processes, software, or formulas, you likely qualify. We can review your prior returns to identify retroactive opportunities.
